    This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what
    this statement meant about the character and nature of God.

    One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver
    and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.

    I'm sorry, but what is the issue here? What is it about God's character
    and nature is up for discussion?

    This is like discussing whether lava flow is hot, hotter or hottest.

    This is a game, a game of examining the Bible to see who comes up with
    the best situational explanation. It is a distraction to being Christian
    which I see Christianity as doing not philosophizing about.

    Everything, including the existence or nonexistence of God, if not for
    discussion, certainly for individual consideration, thought and
    rethought, but probably not at a Bible Study. There, the existence of
    a God is pretty much accepted, I imagine, but the nature of God would
    certainly not be in agreement, especially the more things you
    attribute to God, unless of course you attribute EVERYTHING to God, in
    which case, he would be indistinguishable from NO GOD AT ALL. I guess
    this belongs in alt. support diet because it is "food for thought". dkw

    Sin is not from GOD.

    Neither is anything else. Your creation myth perishes at the hands of
    its own logic. The inherent contradictions of your above statement
    prove that, as does the need for those who wish to continue to believe
    in your myth to commit intellectual suicide.

    I see you got the question right.

    I have no idea what you mean by All God = No God, but human discussion
    about God, which I use the term as in Creator Of Everything, is much
    like a molecule in gasoline discussing a Ferrari.

    If you see your Lord reflected in the face of fellow human beings I
    can only hope/pray that what you see is One with the Holy Spirit, for
    your sake. All too often people soak themselves in the evil things of
    life and attributes of others, and they forget to look for Christ
    reflected back at them. For example, if your nature were to be
    reflected back at you when you next look into the mirror, rather than
    your reflection, what would look back? Would you be happy to move
    aside and let it willingly be reflected into the world, or would you
    take the time to examine the changes you could be making with Christ's
    help?

    Bible study, examination, going to church, meeting up with other
    Christians and so forth are all ways in which we stand in front of the
    mirror recognising the nature of our true selves and adjusting it
    constantly into the likeness of Christ. It is an on going process
    until the day we die.

    Jesus wipes away our sins when we ask Him into our lives. He gives us
    the new eyes to see through that mirror in new light. This is the
    power of the cross.

    Easily concur with what you have written and add:

    WWJHYSDW?

    (What Would Jesus Have You Say, Do, or Write?)

    It remains my choice to continue to receive the guidance of the Holy
    Spirit in everything I say, do, and write, because HE is always
    right :-)

    May GOD continue to heal our hearts with HIS living water so that we
    can love our neighbors a little more and LORD Jesus Christ infinitely
    more, dear sister Carol whom I love unconditionally.

    Prayerfully in Jesus' awesome love,

    Andrew <><
